Powerful New Ways to Save with Solar

“The Best Investment You Can Make in 2018 is More Solar Power for Your Home”

How to Get the Most from Your Solar Investment in 2018 Switch Power Companies Solar Power is the best investment you can make in 2018. In this special feature we will show you how you can maximise savings on your power bill with strategic new ways that make the most of new technologies and changing network conditions.

There are huge differences in the pricing of Energy Retailers today. You want to get the most for selling your solar, but you don’t want to pay more for everything else! Some retailers set a high price so they can then give you a “discount” and many people believe the highest percentage discount is what you are looking for. It is confusing to try and compare offers and most people do not have time to wade through this mine field. At 888 Solar Tek we compare all the offers and negotiate even better deals for you.

Cash in on Solar Incentives

Power Prices Going Up Again

Predictions from industry experts have power prices going up by another 50% in the next two years. Reliance on aging coal generators and a lack of certainty for investors in new energy generation is creating a price spiral in the National Energy Market. Expect another 15-25% increase in July this year and more in 2019. Solar Power can minimise the amount you pay for electricity now and protect you from ongoing price rises. Some of our clients are now getting credits from their electricity supplier instead of huge bills, by following our advice and strategies. The higher that electricity prices go, the more your solar energy is worth, not only to offset charges, but also to export to the grid for profit. Find out how easy it is for you to do the same.

Match the Solar Energy to Your Power Use

Everyone is different and how you use energy needs careful consideration before just slapping a cheap package deal on your roof. Solar panels last decades, so you want to make sure your investment is sized and placed to erase your carbon footprints as much as possible. Is it better to use solar for your hot water or use off peak from the grid? is air conditioning more efficient with panels facing East or West? We ask the right questions to get you an efficiency that gives extra value to your solar investment every day.

The Federal Government is still offering Small technology Certificates (STC’s) that greatly reduce the upfront cost of new solar panels. Every year you get less STC’s, so it is better act now while the benefit is Sell Your Power for Profit higher.to888 Solar Tek make it easy to The solar feed in tariff is now 12-15c claim your benefit by doing all the per kWh, which means you can sell excess paperwork and trading them on your power to the grid to cover your night time behalf, giving you an up front discount energy use and daily supply charge. If you on your new solar system. The rules produce and sell enough power, the change all the time and you need the electricity company will owe you money! right equipment to get money back As prices go up you will get more and from adding solar to your home. more for the excess electricity you sell.

Get Around Network Rules

It is disappointing to find out that the network won’t let you export an unlimited amount of solar power to the grid. However, there are many ways to benefit from producing more power and to ensure you are exporting the maximum most of the time. Our design consultants look at your total energy picture to find new tricks that you did not know about before.

If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill

With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.

If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited

Panel Level Optimization

Every solar panel on a string affects every other panel, so one panel in shade can bring down the performance of a whole system. Tigo have now released special electronic optimizers, so shade will no longer hold back the flow of power. Tigo optimizers also allow more flexibility for fitting panels on difficult roofs, and work with any inverter. If your roof has uneven shading, then Tigo optimizers can increase output by up to 30%. They can also be retrofitted to old panels that are shade affected, fixing any performance lag and boosting your solar power production.

Long Term Warranties

Our Solar panels have a 25 year production warranty, no moving parts and only require occasional cleaning. They just work and keep on working for decades of reliable power production. We choose the best brands to give you the most value and reliability in solar technology today.

Slash Your Hot Water Bill with a Sanden Eco Plus System

If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your The Sanden Eco Plus® Hot Water Heat roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar Pump System use up to 80% less for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to energy than conventional electric bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people. water heaters.

but according to the Atlas of Living Australia, the only preserved specimen is under Museums Victoria’s collection,” a spokesperson for the Australian Museum said. A further search by The Weekly was unable to identify the beetle from any known photographs via online beetle databases. Editor Jonathon Howard said that although the beetle is considered a common species, the photos were another remarkable find for the Tweed Shire. “While a photo of this particular beetle may exist somewhere,” he said. “A search online revealed no photographic evidence of the beetle, which is known to entomologists but according to Marie has not been seen for almost 90 years.” In Australia there are more than 3,000 species of leaf beetles feeding on living roots, leaves, stems, flowers, pollen, fruits and seeds. The majority of species feed on Eucalypt and Acacia leaves and both the adults and larvae store the plant chemicals in their bodies and are poisonous to predators. This explains why many species of leaf beetle are brightly coloured.

A RARE leaf beetle, that has not been documented since the 1930s, has caused excitement amongst Tweed Shire residents this week, after the little green bug dropped by a Burringbar resident’s home recently. Burringbar resident Marie Jack noticed the leaf beetle and after taking several photos she contacted The Weekly to share her discovery. “I was in the backyard and this small green insect dropped out of nowhere and landed on my hand,” she said. “I’d never seen anything like it and as we live close to the rainforest here, I thought to have it identified.” Mrs Jack was able to snap several photos of the beetle before it flew off and although the leaf beetle is considered common to the Tweed Shire it may not have been seen for many decades. The Weekly contacted Entomologist Dr Chris Reid at the Australian Museum in Sydney, who said the beetle was a rare find. “You have a species of leaf beetle (family Chrysomelidae), called Phyllocharis marmorata. “It occurs from Eden north to the Queensland border, but is rare we only have 15 specimens. “Probably feeds on Pittosporum and the larvae are probably green with spines. Mrs Jack also contacted Australian Museum staff who said it was also an interesting discovery because this particular beetle had not been seen since the 1930s. “We do not have specimens of your species of Leaf Beetle, Phyllocharis marmorata in our Museum Collections

Business Tax Advisers

Return and Earn sites stalled

Jonathon Howard ADDITIONAL RETURN and Earn deposit sites are likely to be delayed across the Tweed Shire in 2018, as several additional locations at Tweed Heads have pulled out due to parking constraints and vehicle access. The Weekly has called the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Tomra Cleanaway several times since the December 2017 rollout, urging them to investigate and implement a deposit location in the Tweed Valley. The request came after several residents complained that the current deposit sites at Woolworths Kingscliff and BP Chinderah are often full or near capacity most days.

One resident said they had travelled twice in one day from the valley to the coast to make their deposit only to find the machine full in both the morning and afternoon. A spokesperson for the EPA said the sites are emptied every day and have encouraged residents to phone ahead to see whether sites have been emptied prior to making the trip. The spokesperson had also previously told The Weekly that research was being undertaken to implement a Return and Earn site in Murwillumbah, however, progress appears to have stalled. Meanwhile, the EPA is reporting the Return and Earn scheme has been well received across NSW with more than 106 million containers collected since December 1, 2017. The Woolworths Kingscliff site has already taken a total of 602,318 bottles

and cans while BP Chinderah which was the first deposit site in the Tweed has collected 812,274. “It’s great to see the community really getting behind Return and Earn, with over five million drink containers returned on the weekend alone,” Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton said. High performing reverse vending machines are processing over 45,000 drink containers a day With more than 400 collection points already available, Return and Earn continues to roll out across the State, according to an EPA media statement.

Dog exclusion zones

What is being described in Jo Kennett’s article regarding dogs in exclusion zones at Hastings Point (TVW, February 22) is my experience also. I have witnessed people local to the Tweed area, (speaking with them they said they were from Cabarita and knew the dog was not meant to be in that location) as well as visitors bringing dogs into these exclusion zones. Dogs in exclusion zones, swimming in the creek or beside the creek with their owners, in the rockpools at the base of the headland and dogs chasing seabirds is a regular occurrence at Hastings Point. On Australia day in a 45 minute period I saw three dogs. According to the article the fine for this regulation breach is $330. So three $330 fines = $990. Last Sunday (25/2/18) I spent 2.5 hours at Hastings Point and saw five dogs in dog exclusion zones. So five dogs in exclusion zones would be $1650 in total fines for that day. Surely this would cover the cost of a casual or part time job for a local person as a new Council ranger to be present at Hastings Point on public holidays or some weekends/ holiday periods. This would help to ensure the dog regulations are followed and also solve the problem of “TSC rangers not being able to be everywhere across the shire” as their spokesperson had said in the article. With Easter holidays coming up a solution is sorely needed. Alexandra Jones, Pottsville I commend Belinda Grace (Letters TVW Feb 22) for her comments on the irrationally placed 40km/h school zone outside the Hare Krishna School. I have driven through that stupid ill-conceived 40km/h zone for many years now and almost without exception wondered who was poorly oriented bureaucrat who was convinced that he/she was doing the community a wonderful service by making that stretch of road a speed trap

without the slightest safety benefit to a single soul. It is merely a trigger for frustration and tension over the years for tens of thousands of travellers, both regular and visiting, who have never seen a single child or parking mother etc ever in that zone. Let us hope that this post triggers off the elimination of that zone and a return to common sense on that short strip. Of course I realise that there may be a reverse reaction among the powers that be and next week we may see a speed camera installed or regular patrols by the police but let us hope sanity prevails. Thank you for starting the ball rolling Belinda, let’s see what happens, perhaps even a few regular Tyalgum district driver supporters? Ian Jefferys

Lame duck council

The fear of litigation in the Land and Environment Court has a grip on the Tweed Shire Council and reveals the enormous influence the development industry has over both Council staff and Councillors when considering development applications. Assessments are made not with a view to the public interest but whether the Council will be dragged into Court by developers who stand to make a lot of money with an approval and are happy to spend a relatively small amount to hire lawyers to get their way. Water miners come to mind. In fact, shortly before the Council recommended that the proposed Rowland’s Creek water mine at Uki be approved, one of the planners sent a note to a colleague reading, “if this was the only reason for refusal, are you prepared to face the dreaded court process.” The fear of litigation permeates through Council staff, who, despite being bound to certain rules and tests, nevertheless apply subjective views in their assessments. Questions of public interest and amenity need to be considered in assessments of DA’s and should not be seen to be rubbery topics, subject to opinion. How is it possible when the Council receives hundreds of submissions, all of them opposed to the proposed Rowlands Creek water mine, that Council can conclude that the development is in the public interest. How can a development be in the public interest when Council cannot name a single benefit of the mine except that one person will make money? With the threat of litigation always in their minds (staff can be dragged into court), there is a strong possibility of decisions being skewed in favour of developers. Councillors then, become nothing but a rubber stamp because they lose the power to do the job they

are meant to do. The role of an elected Council is not to pander to the whims of the powerful and well connected who believe they can use their wealth as a weapon to influence and intimidate, but to reflect the views of the majority of their constituents. Anything less than that is a serious erosion of our democratic rights as residents of the Shire. Trevor White, Tweed Water Alliance

Rail trail not a goat track

Clearly, Tom Raynor’s ‘vision’ of the Tweed Valley Rail Trail (TVW, Feb 22) is a goat track built to support a handful of hikers and ultra fit cyclists while being maintained by two blokes carrying materials in a wheelbarrow. “Constructing a simple gravel path for just pedestrian and bicycle traffic loading is not expensive,” his letter reads. “It’s just removing the top soil, then placing grading and compacting a gravel layer. “Of course the council could specify a ‘gold plated’ pathway, of great width, and overdesigned just to take to take a council maintenance truck and perhaps concreted – but is that what is needed?” The Rail Trail funding allocated by the State and Federal Governments has been provided on the basis of an application for the construction of a road in place of the line on the formation. Anything less than a properly formed road with competent drainage could not possibly support the countless thousands of visitors that flock to rail trails all around the world. Most of those visitors are ordinary families who come to rail trails to experience the magic of being able to walk, ride or wheel along a flat path through beautiful surroundings without being a trained athlete. Every departure from the top of the formation leads to steeper track gradients, reducing accessibility and the attraction for visitors, especially, the elderly, small children and those who want to ride the trail in their wheelchair. We need to build the best most accessible, most maintainable rail trail that we possibly can, and we have been granted the money to do just that. Retaining the rail would more than double the maintenance because it is much harder to keep an unused track clear than a trail with frequent travellers. The verges of a trail can be mowed without big steel rails hidden in the grass. Currently the vegetation on the North Coast line is controlled with liberal applications of herbicide. The rails and dead vegetation are an eyesore. Is that the image we wish to present to tourists on the trail? Fassifern-Toronto Rail Trail kept the rails which are now to

be found rusting among trees and other vegetation that has grown up through the tracks. In places our track sits atop a ten metre high steep sided berm. There is nowhere else to build a trail. There are seven tunnels up to nearly half a kilometre in length passing through ridges up to one hundred metres above the corridor. Train proponents say these problems are not insurmountable but have never proposed a solution. Building a separate trail so the rail could be retained would misappropriate vast resources towards saving a line for which nobody has ever provided the most basic model of how it would be economically viable to actually use it. Whether the line remains in place or not, no government is going to fund the return of the rail services on this corridor, so any model would have to be based on private enterprise like the Byron train. It would be completely irresponsible for the council to divert any funds from the trail grants, much less borrow money to facilitate the retention of the rail without a well considered quantitative business model that clearly shows how that money will contribute more to our community than building a best quality trail possible in place of the line. Such detailed evidence has been provided to prove the economic viability of the trail based on experience at other trails in Australia and New Zealand. The train enthusiasts should be held no less accountable. Greg Clitheroe, Murwillumbah

Rail trail questions

I have so many questions about Northern Rivers Rail Trail the organisation. First, who are these people? Where does all their money come from? Most not-for-profits are clamouring for money these days, even the well-established ones. And yet, this relatively new organisation manages to have enough money to take out huge ads in The Weekly, enough to create a professional website and slick marketing materials, enough to host market stalls, etc. When I looked at their website, out of the 20 “sponsors” nearly half were bicycle shops, cycling clubs or fitness groups hardly representative of the larger Tweed community. I also couldn’t help but notice a monied group of retirees in expensive fitness gear celebrating at the Council meeting. They stuck out like a sore thumb and looked like something out of Broadbeach or Surfers rather than residents of our valley. Further, have a look on the Council Facebook page at the 8th of February video announcing the project. Again,

does this group of politicians past and present look like they represent the larger community or better yet, do they look like they’ll be cycling and walking this track themselves? I can’t help but feel that there is a much larger agenda here and I believe many others feel that way, too. Northern Rivers Rail Trail and the politicians that are ramming this project down our throats are so confident that what they are doing is right, yet they feel the need to “convince” us that ripping up our train tracks for a $13 million dirt bike track is a good idea when the majority clearly feels otherwise. The other thing that really strikes me is the amount of propaganda put out by this group. Let’s look at this point by point: The rail trail will protect the railway corridor. Oh really? Why would anyone believe that when it will take nothing less drastic than an act of Parliament to close the line? And with the state of politics these days, how many trust that there won’t be a sell-off of this land some time in the future when it reverts to Crown Land and developers are salivating at the opportunity? The rail trail will create up to a 100 jobs. Please, give us a breakdown of those jobs. We’d love to know what they will be. Re-opening the line will cost too much. Oh really? Why is it that Victoria has been able to build railways for a fraction of the cost cited in the questionable ARUP report? Are the Victorians that much smarter and more visionary? The trains are never coming back. Well, some of us don’t like limitation thinking and don’t buy the propaganda that we should accept it. Like Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Finally, no person I’ve spoken to who wants to see a return of the trains is against a rail trail. Train proponents seem universally happy to compromise. They recognise the value of both. And as one businessman at the Council meeting asked during community access, why hasn’t the option of having both trains and the trail been properly investigated? The Northern Rivers Rail Trail organisation, along with some of our illustrious politicians and even some Council staff on the other hand, seem uncompromising in their agenda - to the point where there is talk of a rescission motion being raised at the next Council meeting to ban the possibility of investigating the dual purpose option. So I ask again, what are these people trying to hide and what is their real agenda? Lori Scinto, Crystal Creek

Land swap deal could sure up Murwillumbah industrial estate A LAND swap deal announced by the State Government this week in South Murwillumbah’s Industry Central precinct could help secure the Tweed Valley’s industrial heartland for future generations while allowing some of the region’s largest employers room to grow. Seven current businesses have already expressed an interest in relocating to the site in a move that could also help secure the employment of around 300 people including Shoobridge Transport, Williams Timber & Trusses, Hayes Steel and O’Connors Carrying Service. Member for Lismore Thomas George made the announcement on behalf of Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Small Business, John Barilaro MP, at the 16.11-hectare plot of land in the Industry Central precinct at South Murwillumbah on Monday, February 26, with several local business owners also present. Mr George said the site will remain dry through severe floods and has the potential of saving millionsof-dollars in damages, stock or insurance claims. “The $3 million in funding was secured from the NSW Climate Change Fund to relocate South Murwillumbah businesses to a new estate outside the region’s flood prone area,” he said. “The site swap is offering one-acre swaps to 1.2 acres only, which is an increase for the local operators of 0.2 of acre.”

Tw e e d S h i r e C o u n c i l h a d previously attempted to secure the site at auction in July 2017, where it sold for $1.5 million. Priority has been given to businesses in high velocity flood areas or of high value who have more than 50 employees and lost more than $1 million in the March 2018 flood. It should be noted that several existing industrial site operators exceed the one-acre threshold, meaning those businesses will need to buy additional land in order to complete the move. Eligible businesses will have up to 10 years to relocate and their land will be rezoned, most likely for community or agricultural uses. Tweed Shire Council will now prepare the site for development and apply for further State Government grants to provide infrastructure such as roads, water and sewers. The process is likely to take six months and the cost of infrastructure such as the slabs, sheds and site construction will fall on business owners. Despite the costs, local business owners were positive about the announcement and said it was the best step forward for the future of the industrial site. O’Connors Carrying Service owner Paul O’Connor told the media that his business could not risk another flood. “This opportunity means we can continue to grow as a business,” he said. Owner of Shoobridge Transport, Peter Shoobridge shared Mr O’Connor’s views and said the shift would add greater certainty to

the future of his business and the industrial site. Tweed Shire Council’s planning team and General Manager Troy Green received praise from Mr George and the State Government for the pace in which they pursued the land parcel following the floods, with Mr George saying the proposal was on the government’s desk just 10 days after the flood. “The Council is to be congratulated for their immediate approach following the 2017 flood to locate this land and developing the land swap plan,” he said. Mr Barilaro said securing funding for the new Tweed Shire Flood Mitigation “Land Swap” Project is a great outcome for local businesses. “This deal means the affected businesses will not only be able to set up and operate in a new convenient

location without the worry of flooding, they will also gain more land in the process,” Mr George said. “I know this announcement will be extremely reassuring for local businesses.” Mr George said the issue was raised with the Premier during her visit to the region last year and he was delighted she moved quickly to ease the concerns of the South Murwillumbah Industrial Estate business owners. Mayor of Tweed, Katie Milne, welcomed the funding and land swap arrangement which she said will assist local businesses and protect jobs. “I’d like to thank the NSW Government for this funding to assist our local businesses and protect local jobs,” Mayor Milne said.

“We all remember how devastating last year’s flood was for businesses in South Murwillumbah, so we want to remove those building entitlements and ensure that the next generation will not ever have to sustain what was lost in 2017. “We want to keep businesses within the shire, employing people and manufacturing. This has allowed those businesses to have the confidence to reinvest, to grow and to employ more people. “Removing these buildings as obstacles in this vital flood flow path will also assist the free flow of flood waters which will help alleviate future flood impacts for the town. “Council has worked very hard to bring this important initiative to fruition and this is a significant win for our whole community.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Investment in future transport could cost dearly Jonathon Howard

There appears to be a misconception in the community that when a marriage or de facto relationship ends, the assets and liabilities of the parties will always be split equally between them. Ruth Whisker, family lawyer with Stacks Law Firm, said she has had many clients who say: “I want half” or “I know he/she is going to get half”. “While it may be the case that in some property divisions, each party receives an amount equal to half the net assets - not necessarily half of each individual asset - that only occurs when it is ‘just and equitable’ for there to be an equal distribution,” Ms Whisker said. “The Family Court or Federal Circuit Court have their own way to determine what is a ‘just and equitable’ division of property. They look at the circumstances of the relationship and the contributions of the parties to determine first, whether it is appropriate to make any adjustment to property ownership at all and, only if the answer is yes, secondly, what that adjustment should be.” Ms Whisker said there have been a number of cases recently of long term de facto relationship break ups where the courts determined that, because the parties largely kept their property and finances separate, it was not appropriate to make any adjustments at all. “The parties each kept what they currently had, even though it wasn’t an equal amount. However, if both parties contributed to jointly owned property, or to property of one of parties, or made contributions to the care and welfare of children of the relationship, the court will usually consider it appropriate to make a property adjustment order where the current assets of each party do not reflect their contributions. “Some people ask if they will they get half if they have been together for more than two years. The short answer is ‘maybe’.” Ms Whisker said to determine whether it is “just and equitable” for net assets to be split equally or in some other proportion, the courts will consider: • Assets, debts and financial resources of the parties • Duration of the marriage/relationship • Assets brought into the relationship • Financial contributions during the relationship • Non-financial contributions to property • Inheritance or unexpected large sum incomes • Contributions as parent and homemaker • Ongoing care of a child of the relationship • Health or other matters that will affect ability to work If you find yourself in the situation where you have separated or are considering separating and want to know what you, or the other person, are really entitled to, you should contact an experienced family lawyer for advice. comment

Bringing the light rail to Tweed could cost in the order of $400 million.

Sentence handed down on Murwillumbah fraud case MURWILLUMBAH RESIDENT Rochelle Boyce, 40, appeared before the Murwillumbah Magistrates Court on Tuesday, May 23, facing seven charges of alleged fraud in excess of $130,000 from a local business. Ms Boyce fronted court with family members and was represented by Tweed Solicitor Phillip Mulherin. Ms Boyce faced seven counts of stealing property as clerk/ servant, with Tweed Police stating the estimated amount was “in excess of $130,000”. Ms Boyce entered a plea of guilty on three counts of the seven alleged offences and her solicitor requested an adjournment for the remaining four charges. Mr Mulherin told the Magistrate that his client had requested a recalculation of the four remaining charges as she believes several payments may not have been calculated.

The Magistrate agreed to adjourn the matter until Wednesday, July 26. Tweed Police charged Ms Boyce in early May following investigations into the alleged fraud. Detectives from Tweed Heads Local Area Command said they began investigations after receiving reports that a former employee of a local business had allegedly defrauded the company of funds, estimated to be in excess of $130,000, however it should be noted that this figure remains in contention. Subsequent inquiries established that the woman had allegedly defrauded the business since December 2009, before she was dismissed in March 2017. Officers seized documentation and electronic devices which were forensically examined. She is currently on strict conditional bail.

“That’s simply not true,” he said. “Any changes to that particular corridor would require an act of parliament including any sale or another use for the corridor. “I was disappointed to hear about the Mayor’s motion, especially as Council now has the money to get started on the rail trail, but this could now face several delays.” Mr Provest acknowledged that residents and Councillors were keen to find out more about the possibility of a rail trail next to the train tracks, however he stressed the difficulties in the tunnels and bridges. “I don’t think it can be done next to the train tracks,” he said. “Considering the tunnels and bridges, which would create a large hurdle it would be unfeasible and could ultimately cost ratepayers. “I just want the Council to get on with the trail which is currently funded.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe Tweed Heads should be the future priority for public transport as the Tweed’s growth hub?

Do I really get half if we split?

THE TWEED Shire light rail extension from the Queensland border to Tweed City Shopping Centre at Tweed Heads could cost around $100 million per kilometre and a total of about $400 million, according to Member for Tweed Geoff Provest. The figure sent media outlets across Southern Queensland and Northern NSW into a spin this week as Mr Provest highlighted the rail network as a “plan for the future”. Mr Provest’s comments were made as a $2 million feasibility study continues to investigate the possibility of bringing the Gold Coast Light Rail network through to Tweed City. The study is expected to be released this year and will highlight key expenditure needs such as the Tweed River crossing and corridor needs. “The Tweed has not undergone any real changes to the public transport network for the past two decades,” Mr Provest said. “We need to start planning for future transport needs across the Shire and I believe bringing the light rail from the Gold Coast to Tweed City is a step in the right direction. “Tweed City is also investing in a multimillion dollar upgrade that will again make it a perfect location for a light rail.” Mr Provest highlighted that is was too early to start talking specifics about the Gold Coast to Tweed City corridor, as the study continues.

“There’s still a lot of specifics to get through,” he said. “However, I’ve been advised that the figure could reach around $400 million or about $100 million per kilometre.” The Weekly also questioned Mr Provest on the ongoing discussions around stage one of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek. Mr Provest echoed his previous sentiment that a train was “unlikely to return on the Murwillumbah to Casino line” and said he was disappointed in Mayor Katie Milne’s motion to take the rail trail proposal to market to determine if a rail with trail was a possibility. “No, I cannot see the train coming back on the Murwillumbah to Casino line in the foreseeable future,” he said. “We need to be looking at where the key growth areas currently are as well as the demand, and that line is just not in a high demand area.” Mr Provest also highlighted what he said were inaccuracies by Mayor Milne, in that if the train tracks are pulled up for the rail trail then the corridor would fall under Crown Lands and could be at risk of being sold off.

Do the mozzie survey and win How many mozzies could be breeding in your backyard, courtyard or balcony? A new online survey is asking Northern Rivers residents to become ‘citizen scientists’ and count the number of water-holding containers in their backyards to provide valuable information on mosquito breeding habitats in our region. An inspection of 300 backyards in Pottsville and Tweed Heads West in December last year found at least 94 per cent of properties had at least one water-holding item. Council’s Environmental Health Officer Kelly Piazza said habitat inspections revealed that there were abundant opportunities for container-inhabiting mosquitoes in the region. “Pot plants, buckets and bromeliads were the top three actual and potential container-inhabiting mosquito habitats,” Ms Piazza said. “Even an upturned softdrink bottle lid can contain enough water for mosquitoes to breed – mosquitoes that could be carrying serious diseases.” Dr Cameron Webb, from NSW Health Pathology and the University of Sydney, inspected local backyards and set up mosquito traps as part of the project late last week. “The important thing about this project is building capacity among the local authorities to be able to better respond to increased mosquito risk and, at the same time, educate the community to be mindful that it’s not just mosquitoes in the nearby swamps that are the problem, it’s the ones in suburbs and backyards as well,” Dr Webb said. “Everyone can play a part by looking around their backyards and being aware of where mosquitoes might be breeding and take the opportunity to tip them out, cover them up or throw them out.” The data collected through the project will help local government plan for and prevent the establishment of exotic invasive mosquitoes in the future and develop a Northern Rivers Mosquito Control Plan for the region. The plan is part of a $58,400 Building Resilience to Climate Change grant received by Tweed Shire Council from the

NSW Government and supported by Local Government NSW. Participating councils include Tweed, Ballina, Byron, Lismore, Kyogle, Richmond Valley and Clarence Valley, along with the North Coast Public Health Unit and NSW Health. The Northern Rivers region has been identified as a high-risk location where the threat of exotic mosquito incursion is elevated due to our proximity to Queensland. While there are no Dengue mosquitoes in NSW, there is the potential they could arrive as adults, larvae or eggs from overseas or Far North Queensland, where they spread Dengue and other serious diseases. If you live in the Northern Rivers, complete the quick survey online and you could win an iPad valued at $425.

Meanwhile, over in London, they have put the remnants of the fatberg that clogged the sewer under Whitechapel on display in the Museum of London as a ‘symbol of contemporary history’. That fatberg – full of sewage, fat, grease and wet wipes – weighed 130 tonne, was 250 metres long and took several months for workers to blast it away using high-pressure water hoses, shovels and hand tools.

Boomerang Bags – can you help?

As we all know, the best way to avoid using plastic bags is to bring your own reusable bags when you go shopping. The Boomerang Bags team is a grassroots movement working hard to supply free reusable bags made from recycled, donated materials to the community. Sewing bees have been organised for 2018 at Sathya Sai School in Murwillumbah and organisers are calling for anyone interested in tackling plastic pollution to come out and lend a hand. Sewing ability is not essential as they are also looking for cutters, pinners, stampers, ironers and folders. All events will be on Sundays from 11am to 4pm and are scheduled for 4 March, 20 May, 17 June, 1 July, 16 September, 21 October and 18 November.

Wet wipe representative dips into the debate This month a representative of a large wet wipes manufacturer visited Council’s Tweed Heads Administration Centre to see our hands-on experiment against so-called flushable wet wipes. We can confirm their wet wipes are one of the brands in the jars and remain fully intact after seven months in water. Wet wipes of any brand should not be flushed as they do not break down like toilet paper and risk clogging our sewers and jamming sewerage infrastructure, such as pump stations. At our treatment plants, wet wipes are literally screened out of

In brief ...

In her new exhibition opening at Tweed Regional Gallery on Friday 2 March, Brisbane-based artist Nicola Hooper explores the concepts surrounding ‘zoonoses’, an infection or infectious disease that is transferred from animal host to human. Using drawing and lithography as her primary media, Ms Hooper is particularly interested in our contradictory perceptions of animals in the context of fear of disease. Gallery Director Susi Muddiman said the exhibition is part of the gallery’s Community Access Exhibition Program. “Nicola’s exhibition includes prints, artists’ books and wallpaper,” Ms Muddiman said. “Lithography has a long history in publishing and storytelling, so Nicola has explored some potentially frightening and emotive issues to visually engage us with some scary subject matter.” With a background in design and illustration, Ms Hooper is currently completing a Doctorate of Visual Art Candidate at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in public and private collections. All are welcome to attend the opening celebrations on Friday 2 March 2018 at 6pm with guest speaker Dr Glen Skein, artist and lecturer. The exhibition continues until 20 May 2018 at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre.

Council will start the second of this financial year’s Black Spot Program projects in mid March to widen and reconstruct a section of Kyogle Road, from Glenock Road to Gold Gully. The $1.53 million funding from the Australian Government covers two projects – one from Glenock Road to Braeside Drive and the other from Braeside Drive to Gold Gully. There have been two fatal crashes and several injury crashes on this section of road in the past five years. The works will consist of: • widening and reconstructing the road • improving the curves • installing guardrail with motorcycle protection, and • improving drainage. The section carries about 3500 vehicles a day and the projects are expected to take about 20 weeks to complete. Traffic will be under the management of stop/slow flagmen and motorists should expect some delays.

Boat ramp works at Kennedy Drive

Council is preparing to undertake works at the Kennedy Drive Boat Ramp over the next three weeks. The works, due to start on Monday 26 February, include improving the drainage and surface condition of the popular facility and trailer parking and traffic circulation on the site. Council Project Officer Matt Lee said the works had been timed to coincide with the conclusion of the peak summer boating period. “While these works are being completed we will also be installing new bollards and clearly defining parking areas to improve public safety,” Mr Lee said. “Council will work to limit inconvenience over the duration of the project, however it is likely that there will be disruptions to the normal operation of the site.” Mr Lee said during the works, recreational boaters and fishers would be encouraged to use alternative facilities, with the Dry Dock Road Boat Ramp the closest option. These works are funded by the State Government’s NSW Boating Now Program to support initiatives that enhance the boating experience in NSW, including the delivery of recreational boating infrastructure across NSW waterways.

NDIS morning tea The opportunities and changes under the new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will be explained at an informal morning tea being hosted by Council’s Community Services team on Tuesday 6 March. The Community Services team will be holding the morning teas and information sessions on the first Tuesday of each month, from 10am to 11.30am, to give recipients of disability support services, their families and carers a welcoming environment to find out more about the services available. Interested people can drop into the Tweed Heads South Community Centre (HACC Centre) Activities Room any time during the sessions, to find out how they can make the most of their NDIS assistance. Council is an NDIS provider and is working with disability support service recipients through initiatives such as its Community Options (COPS) or the Older Parent Carer (OPC) programs. “The morning teas are designed to make it as easy as possible to get the information people need,” Council’s Manager Community and Cultural Services Robyn Grigg said. “We’re inviting people to share a cuppa and morning tea, get up-to-date advice relevant to their situation and ask any questions they have.” To RSVP or for more information, phone (07) 5569 3110, email copemails@tweed.nsw.gov.au or visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/CommunityOptions

New online koala survey will help determine options for management Tweed residents are being asked to participate in a new online survey to provide information about some of Australia’s most significant and vulnerable koala populations. The NSW North Coast Koala Study is being run by the University of Queensland, Southern Cross University and the University of Sydney in conjunction with Tweed, Byron, Lismore and Ballina councils and the Friends of the Koala organisation. UQ School of Communication and Arts researcher Associate Professor Kelly Fielding said the study aimed to understand people’s thoughts and experiences of koalas in the region, and gather their opinions on best management of the region for conservation. “Conserving the koala is a major challenge for Australian governments and society,” Ms Fielding said.

“While understanding the habitat requirements of koalas is essential, recovery plans are often less than successful because we don’t understand how these plans impact on local communities. “This project is researching the koala’s relevance to the community, so that koala recovery approaches can reflect community preferences.” Tweed Council Koala Connections Project Manager Scott Hetherington said the map-based survey allows participants to share their views about koalas and planning in a way that hasn’t been used in the region before. “In the first part you will drag small icons on to a map of the NSW North Coast Region to mark where you have seen koalas, where you would like to see more or less koalas in the future,

and your preferences for future land use that may affect koala conservation,” Mr Hetherington said. “The second part is a simple questionnaire and your knowledge and opinions will help us to identify options for koala management and conservation.” Please note that due to the graphic interface of the survey, it is recommended it be completed on a PC or laptop computer rather than on a mobile device. The survey, which will take about 20 minutes to complete, can be found at www.northcoastkoala.net. People completing the survey will go in the prize draw for their choice of a two-day break at The Byron at Byron five-star resort or a 2017 iPad Pro.

Major flood repair packages rolled out to fix Tweed’s damaged infrastructure Council has awarded the first bundle of major-sized flood repair road packages and the last of the minor to mediumsized repair packages to two contractors for the price of about $1.9 million. Australian Marine and Civil Pty Ltd has been contracted to undertake Design and Construct repairs at major slips on Clothiers Creek Road, Nunderi; two sites on Kyogle Road, Kunghur; two sites on Urliup Road, Urliup; and, on Numinbah Road, Numinbah. All works require slope stabilisation repairs using soil nail or other anchor technology and have been grouped based on type of work to maximise gearing-up efficiencies. Works will also include repairs to items damaged at the same site, such as guardrails, road surfaces and stormwater drainage.

Clothiers Creek Road is the priority site for this bundle but detailed design work will take about two months before on-theground repairs can start. So far, geotechnical investigations have been completed, options analysed, concepts prepared and Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement (NDRRA) funds secured. Meanwhile, the fourth and final contract for minor to mediumsized repairs was awarded to Coastal Works. This package of work has been mostly bundled according to location to minimise travel losses. This package comprises repairs on 26 roads in Back Creek, Mebbin, Mount Burrell, Commissioners Creek, Doon Doon, Burringbar, Brays Creek, Kunghur Creek, Fernside, Tyalgum, Limpinwood, Rowlands Creek, Uki, Numinbah,

Cudgera Creek and Upper Crystal Creek. It contains more than 65 damaged items and is worth about $1.13 million. Coastal Works is expected to mobilise within weeks to begin repairs. More major road repair contracts are expected to be awarded at the March Council meeting, including Cudgera Creek Road, Cudgera. The March flood caused approximately $28.9 million of damage to roads and bridges. To date, more than 1100 minor road and bridge damage items have been repaired. To recover road damage costs under NDRRA and grant funding, Council cannot use its own workforce but must engage third-party contractors.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Developer eyes Pottsville School site acceptable offer to purchase the site.” The Weekly contacted The Department of Education who said they have no current plans for a public high school in the Seabreeze Estate. “The Department of Education has no plans to construct a school at the Seabreeze Estate,” a spokesperson for the department said. “Education accommodation for Pottsville is provided by Pottsville Beach Public School and Kingscliff High School. These schools can accommodate the projected enrolment demand.” The application to Council suggests the future Dunloe Park development, which is expected to house at least 7,000 residents, could instead be a possible future school site. However, the Land and Environment Court heard that preliminary master planning being undertaken for Dunloe Park does not include a school site. Currently students must travel to either Kingscliff, Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads to attend high school. The court appeal heard that several students are required to catch buses that are often crowded before 7am and do not arrive home until after 5pm. An independent report completed by Ms V Bennett, a social science and planning and design expert, and presented to the Land and Environment Court found that population increases in Pottsville will not reach the threshold required to construct a public school. “There is likely to be excess student demand for secondary school facilities compared to expected capacities, but the level of demand for state schools is unlikely to trip the threshold for another government secondary school,” Ms Bennett’s report read.

“As such, no further land specifically for government secondary school facilities is recommended.” “However, there is also likely to be demand for secondary nonstate facilities. As such, a nongovernment operator may wish to explore not only the opportunity to host a primary school as stated above, but may also be interested in establishing a small boutique secondary school, or a K-12 school within the Pottsville Catchment. “Overall, it is recommended that educational lands be set aside in the Pottsville area to accommodate the likely future population.” The court heard that the Department of Education uses figures of 4,500 residents per primary school and 14,000 per high school to determine future school needs. and that by 2026 the Dunloe Park development will host between 7,000 to 9,000 additional residents. Based on these figures primary schools will be “at their limit in the five years to 2026 and secondary school facilities potentially by 2031”. According to the 2016 Census the Pottsville statistical area comprising Bogangar and Hastings Point to the north and Burringbar and Mooball to the west has 814 high school students, 1279 primary school students and 249 preschool students, an increase of 80 students compared to the 2011 census. Acting Land and Environment Court Commissioner Sue Morris said that while the Department of Education currently has no interest in the site, there is evidence that a non-government school has expressed interest in acquiring the site. “One offer to purchase the site has been made and was quickly rejected by the owner,” Commissioner Morris said. “I do not consider that such action demonstrates in any way that the

Location of the Pottsville School site

site is not required as a school site nor that a better outcome would be achieved through consent being granted to the subdivision that is sought. “There is no evidence that negotiations have been exhausted or options such as purchasing only part of the site have been explored.” Pottsville residents, including Councillor Chris Cherry have long campaigned for a high school in Pottsville, after being promised one as early as 2000, and which was advertised when the initial Seabreeze lots went on sale. Cr Cherry had previously told The Weekly the issue has long been a bone of contention in the Seabreeze Estate, where many families bought homes on the understanding the land was earmarked for a high school as far back as 2000. “The population explosion that has happened in and around Pottsville since 2000 as well as the geographic spread of existing highschools in the Shire makes the case for the planned high-school an obvious one,” she said.

“Despite this, Newlands are pushing forward with their bid to increase the population at the cost of the much-needed high-school.” Mayor Katie Milne, a long time supporter of retaining the site for a school, said after the Court’s ruling in Council’s favour that “this should end any future threat to this school site”. “This judgement is a vindication of the community’s strong stand in this,” she said. “I’m so pleased Council supported them and it goes to show that going to court for the community is the right thing to do. “The Department of Education should take heed of this ruling for their future strategic planning. Council and the community knew that Pottsville is set to grow and we cannot afford to let go of this valuable site which has been earmarked for this purpose.” The Weekly approached Tweed Shire Council for comment as to whether they believe the site should remain for a future school and whether land will be set aside in Dunloe Park for a school.

A FRESH development application has been submitted to Tweed Shire Council to subdivide part of the Seabreeze Estate in Pottsville, that had been earmarked for a future school site and the subject of a Land and Environment Court appeal. The development application, submitted to Council last week by Newland Developers Pty Ltd, seeks to subdivide the six-hectare site into 69 residential allotments, two public reserves and one drainage lot. Councillors had voted unanimously in 2015 to reject an application to subdivide the site into 65 lots on the basis that the land had been set aside for a future school. The developer appealled Council’s refusal in the Land and Environment Court, who ruled in Council’s favour based on evidence that Pottsville will require a high school in the future. The new development application states that advice from the Department of Education has indicated a public school is not required within Pottsville and all attempts to develop a private school at the site have failed. “The landowner for many years has endeavoured to secure a purchaser for the Stage 18 “school site”,” the development application reads. “These efforts, including prolonged discussions with the NSW Department of Education and Communities and a private school marketing campaign, have not been successful. “As indicated in the documents at Annexure 14, the Department of Education do not require the Stage 18 site for a school and only one (1) private school has registered an interest in Stage 18 as a school site but has not made a serious or

SOLIDERS FROM across the Tweed Shire who answered the call to fight in the Great War will be honoured as part of a moving artwork in the Anzac Memorial in Sydney’s Hyde Park. Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest took a sample of soil from the Tweed Heads Anzac Memorial Fountain on Wednesday, February 28. Soil samples from more than 1,600 sites across NSW where young soldiers enlisted to fight are being collected as part of the Anzac Memorial Centenary Soil Collection project. All soil samples will be placed in the renovated Hall of Service with the name of their town next to them. “A century on, we honour these Australians by taking a sample of soil and placing it in the Hall of Service at the refurbished Anzac Memorial so that it can be appreciated and commemorated by generations to come,” Mr Elliott said.

Mr Provest said several men and women from across the Tweed Shire have served their country. “It’s an honour to be here with the Minister to commemorate their supreme sacrifice,” Mr Provest said. “The Tweed Shire gave a huge number of people to the war effort and this important contribution will be recognised in the collection of soil from Tweed Heads.” The Anzac Memorial Centenary Project Soil Collection is part of the NSW Government’s upgrade of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park during the Centenary of Anzac.

Wild dogs running riot across Shire Jo Kennett DURANBAH RESIDENT Glenda Bowkett is concerned that the wild dog population in the Tweed is getting out of control and more needs to be done to keep numbers down. Ms Bowkett and her daughter Sophie filmed four pups running along the road near Duranbah School early Monday morning, February 27, which they posted on social media. “They were right outside the school which is a big concern. I asked my husband to speak to the school to let them know,” Ms Bowkett told The Weekly. “We have several cattle properties and do baiting programs, but we’re restricted as far as that goes because the amount of baiting you are allowed to do goes on the size of the land. “We don’t have a problem on our larger properties but there are strict guidelines here in Duranbah because we are close to the school and neighbours. “It’s breeding season so we’re seeing a lot more at the moment.” Ms Bowkett said the four pups they saw were all a dusky yellow colour with black markings on their faces and two had white tips on their tails. “They are not dumped domestic dogs,” she said. “They look like dingoes. “They are getting cunning with baiting programs, particularly the older dogs. “You see the same old dogs around all the time, but people are targeting the pups, even though some people might think it’s cruel, because we need to keep the population down.

“The bitches have a 60-day gestation period, so they can have a litter, usually of four or five pups, in two months, though they usually only have one or two litters a year as they are busy bringing up their pups. “We have calves that have been mauled so badly that we had to put them down before Christmas because the injury went septic.” Ms Bowkett said she believes the area needs a trapping program as the dogs are becoming too cunning to take bait. “Trapping is a lot of work - it costs around $200 to trap one dog, setting up traps and bringing other dogs in to lay a scent down to attract them,” she said. “We lease land to run cattle at Murwillumbah and also have a lot of smaller places around Cudgen and the wild dogs are terrible.” Ms Blowkett was interviewed on ABC North Coast Radio about the problem and said the radio station had callers ringing in from all over the Tweed and Gold Coast reporting wild dog sightings. “They are everywhere,” she said. “One dog is okay - my husband saw a lone dog just the other day - but even

one will kill a koala or a wallaby or other wildlife. “When they are hunting in packs there’s no stopping them.” Ms Blowkett said the dogs are getting so brazen and used to humans that even the pups they saw ran into someone’s front yard. “Our friend’s brother let his little dog out for a morning walk and it was ripped to pieces by wild dogs,” she said. “Wild dogs have always been around. You hear about koalas in Kings Forest but now they’re all gone. We used to have wallabies at home, but we never see them anymore. “Those pups will have to live on something and being breeding season there will just be more and more coming.” The Weekly contacted North Coast Local Land Services for comment which they were unable to provide before print deadline, but we will follow up on this.

The welfare of the students in our care is of paramount importance to all of us. Our curriculum has a strong focus on student well-being and resilience. Our daily timetable is full of opportunities to develop and put into practice the many social skills our young people are learning.

To help support our well-being program and encourage our students to support each other, our P&C fundraised and purchased two “Buddy Benches”. Kylie Rose and Associates generously donated funds for a third bench. Some talented parents painted the benches and they are now situated in our playground.

would like to have a chat or join in a game. Children who are playing will see someone sitting on the bench and invite them to participate. The bench has been an immediate success with our students and has been instrumental in fostering many new friendships.

Our school has a long tradition of participation in a wide range of sports. A large number of our children participate in swimming training and the advantages can be seen in the large contingent of students attending the Far North Coast carnival. More than twenty students from eight years old will be proudly representing us when they compete against children from schools across the North Coast in the full range of swimming events. We wish them all the best!

The buddy bench is a simple idea to eliminate loneliness and foster friendship on the playground. It is a place for children to sit, and send out a visual signal to other students that they Charles Street, Murwillumbah 6672 6781 www.murwillume-p.schools.nsw.edu.au

A TOTAL of 302 crocheted poppy flowers that were hand-made by Tweed Shire locals and members of Heather’s Crochet Group, will form part of a special War Memorial display in Canberra for the 100th anniversary since the end of World War I in 1918. The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", and promoted by Moina Michael, the poppy was first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in the war. They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire. Today, the poppy is mostly used in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand,

to commemorate servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. Members of Heather’s Crochet Group took great pride in creating the individual remembrance poppies, which Heather Evans said were due to be mailed this week. “It’s with great pride that we make this submission to the Canberra War Memorial for Remembrance Day and take part in this great initiative,” she said. Crochet groups around Australia were invited to submit their poppies with a total expected to be in the range of 62,000. The program is being run by 5000 Poppies, who currently have two projects running including Remembrance Day on Sunday, November 11, and creating 50,000 lapel poppies. Members of Heather’s Crochet Group were also encouraging new local members to join in the crochet fun. “We meet every Monday from 10am to 12pm and welcome any new members of all experience levels,” Heather said.

“They have no right to tell me I need to get a mobile,” he said. “I am 76 years old and have never used one before. If they are replacing the system it should be with a system that at least has the same capabilities as the current system. “This system will be a lesser system than the present secure one we have - especially when we have power outages.” NBN Co has announced the commencement of a new trial with participating providers to assist users of unmonitored medical alarms with the cost of moving their alarm when migrating their services to the NBN access network. “Over the next few months NBN Co will work with leading manufacturers and a trial group of 400 medical alarm users in order to refine processes before announcing full details of a new assistance program,” the NBN spokesperson said. “This is an issue we work very hard on at NBN Co because it is so important for members of the public to understand the implications for their medical alarms when they make the switch to the NBN network. “Reflecting the importance of these issues, we send up to five letters via post to residents before they connect to a retail service over the NBN network with the following information on medical alarms (including the importance of registering their alarm on our Medical Alarm Register). “We also do seniors’ drop-in sessions, town hall meetings, and meetings with aged care facilities to ensure stakeholders are aware of the importance of ensuring their medical alarm device is switched over. We are planning on some of these in the Tweed Shire next month.”

Jo Kennett A BANORA POINT resident with medical issues has been informed by Telstra’s NBN team that he will be unable to use his landline to access emergency services during power outages as the technology needs electricity to function. Local Alan Boucher has approval for a power outage battery backup unit fitted to his landline phone, but has been told by Team Telstra technicians that the battery won’t work in the Tweed region because the technology does not have electricity in its system, which leaves his phone inoperable during power outages. On Sunday, February 25, Mr Boucher thought he was having a heart attack after a series of cardiac issues and had to call an ambulance. “You should be able to do that,” he said. “It’s the system we’ve always had, and it works.” A spokesperson for NBN Co said they are working to address issues presented by the changeover and that many people didn’t realise they would have 18 months to switch over from the date of the rollout at their residence. “People on satellite and fixed wireless phones don’t need to switch over. They keep their landline as it is, which they can still use in an emergency,” he said. “NBN Co is recommending those with medical conditions keep a charged mobile phone in case of power outages.” Mr Boucher doesn’t have a medical alarm or mobile phone and doesn’t think that is good enough.

AN INDEPENDENT report has slammed the revised Kings Forest Koala Plan of Management (KPoM), stating that without changes the Kings Forest koala population “is likely to decline substantially” and could even risk extinction. The developer of the Kings Forest Estate had submitted an application to the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) last year to modify their residential subdivision approval with a revised KPoM. The KPoM sought to double the amount of cleared koala habitat from 7.49ha to 14.92ha, reduce koala offset areas from 93ha to 56.7ha, remove the requirement to plan 27ha within the Cudgen Nature Reserve, change the location and timing of fencing and underpasses and remove the requirement to provide traffic calming devices in koala zones. The exhibition of the revised KPoM resulted in a huge community response objecting to the plan, including hundreds of individual submissions and a petition with hundreds of signatures submitted to the DP&E. Eco Logical Australia were tasked by the DP&E to undertake an independent review of the revised KPoM. The review found “substantive issues” with the approach taken in the revised KPoM and recommended several changes. “It is considered that without changes to the KPoM, in particular on the approach taken to koala corridors, fencing, and koala road crossings that the koala population on the Kings Forest site is likely to decline substantially,” the report reads. “This would place the Tweed Coast Koala Endangered Population under further pressure and risk that this population will not persist in the long term.” The review said that the proposed reduction in koala offsets is not justified,

especially since the impact on koala habitat has effectively doubled and put forward a total of 17 recommendations. It is recommended that the requirement to plant 27ha of koala food trees offsite is retained, and koala food trees are planted onsite in the east-west corridor and throughout 54.88ha of cleared land within Kings Forest. Tweed Shire Council and the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) also raised several concerns over the proposed changes, especially the removal of the requirement to plant 27ha of koala food trees in the Cudgen Nature Reserve and the offset plans. According to the OEH onsite plantings would “provide a poor environmental outcome” and “if the 27 hectares was to be onsite it needs to be in addition to the already planned protection areas and buffers”. Tweed Shire Council’s assessment of the offset found around 19.8ha was already existing native vegetation, the offsets overlapped and a large proportion of primary rather than secondary habitat was proposed. Eco Logical’s review of the KPoM found also that many of the offset areas were irregular shapes scattered throughout the site which they said would be difficult to monitor and enforce effectively. The report recommended retaining the east-west corridor at 100 metres rather than the proposed 50m and to also include a koala corridor through the golf course. It is recommended the golf course not be fenced and fencing throughout the site be designed to funnel the movement of koalas through entrance and exit areas. The authors of the report also recommended allowing for additional koala crossing culverts. The developer is currently reviewing submissions and has not yet provided a response to the DP&E.

TWEED SPORTING icon and Paralympian Bill Chaffey has been named in a six-strong paratriathlon team for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The team includes Mr Chaffey, Scott Crowley, Nic Beveridge, Emily Tapp, Sara Tait and Lauren Parker – all in the PTWC (wheelchair athletes) class will complete an overall Australian triathlon team of 12. The team will race over the sprint distance of 750m swim; 20km handle cycle and 5km wheelchair on Saturday, April 7. Mr Chaffey is a five-time ITU paratriathlon world champion and reigning PTWC world champion Emily Tapp both earned automatic nomination after their victories in the first Paratriathlon World Series race on the Gold Coast in 2017. Rio Paralympian Mr Chaffey, a police prosecutor from Tweed Heads, has been the poster boy of an Australian Paratriathlon Squad, rated amongst the best in the world. Mr Chaffey, who was also the Tweed Citizen of the Year in 2017, is a former Ironman triathlete and has been an inspiration to Australia’s fearless band of paratriathletes ever since his 2005 accident, when he was struck by a truck while training for an Ironman in 2005.

The accident left him with spinal cord damage and spinal, pelvic and elbow fractures. Mr Chaffey spent five months recovering in hospital and as a result, he is paralysed in his left leg and has limited movement in his right. For the past decade he has dominated the PTWC paratriathlon scene around the world, winning world titles on the Gold Coast, Beijing, Auckland, London and Chicago. After the heartbreak of missing a medal at the 2016 Rio Paralympics where he finished fourth, it is fitting that Mr Chaffey gets the chance to set himself for his home Commonwealth Games. “This has been a long time coming but knowing it’s the Gold Coast, is something that has kept driving me on,” Mr Chaffey said. “To be officially announced on this team for the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games is a dream come true and I can’t wait to race and have my family and friends and all my mates around will be awesome. “We’ve got a great team, an inspirational team and a team that has worked really hard to get here.”

Tributes flow for Murwillumbah icon Dr Betty TRIBUTES ARE flowing across the Tweed Shire following the passing of local icon Dr Betty Marks on Friday, February 23, who had moved to Melbourne recently after more than 60 years of practicing medicine in the Tweed Valley. Dr Betty touched the lives of hundreds of local residents as a doctor, many of whom she had delivered as babies and continued to provide medical and health advice throughout their lives. Social media was a wash with comments following her passing including one from Mandy McCalman, who recalled Dr Betty’s work ethic. “Oh sad, RIP Dr Betty, I will never forget our rounds and the pace I had to do to keep up with you,” she said. “Bless your soul, you put many years into helping people and I always loved your stories of the good old days. “You will be sadly missed by many but fondly remembered by more.” Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said she was deeply saddened by Dr Betty’s passing. “Like so many locals, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Betty Marks and our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very difficult time,” Mrs Elliot said. “Dr Betty has been a much-loved member of our community and she will be fondly remembered by so many locals. “Over her lengthy career, she had in many cases, looked after some families for four generations. “When Dr Betty retired in 2014 after a 66-year career in medicine, I spoke in the Federal Parliament and thanked her for her incredible contribution.

Dr Betty Marks at the Queen Street Medical Centre

“In that speech I recalled that Dr Betty had said herself, it was a love of her patients that kept her working to the age of 90.” Mrs Elliot said it was in her own words that Dr Betty Marks had said: “There are many wonderful people who get cancers, who get terrible pains and indignities,” she said. “But if you can help in any way possible, as a friend and as a doctor, and that’s mostly what GPs are, I think, it is a great privilege.” Mrs Elliot said Dr Betty will be dearly missed. “It has been a privilege for our community to have received such wonderful service and kindness from a remarkable woman,” Mrs Elliot said. Member for Lismore Thomas George said he was also deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Betty. “Dr Betty was a great supporter and wealth of knowledge when the Lismore electorate incorporated Murwillumbah some years ago,” Mr George said.

“She was a highly respected member of the community, not only as a long serving GP, but as a dedicated community member who spent her time helping the numerous groups she was the patron for. “Following her retirement in 2014, it was my honour to nominate and present Dr Betty with a NSW Government Community Service Award in recognition of more than 60 years as a doctor, with a majority of her time spent in Murwillumbah. “As the Member for Lismore, I highly appreciated our association through work and also as a friend at the many occasions that we had the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company. RIP Dr Betty.” YOUR THOUGHTS: How did Dr Betty help your or your family throughout her 60 years of practicing medicine? The Weekly would love to hear from you. Send your thoughts or letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

Dr Baker leaves lasting legacy FORMER MURWILLUMBAH and Hastings Point Doctor Peter George Barker passed away at Hilltop Nursing Home in Brisbane on Tuesday, February 13, aged 91. Dr Barker was born in Red Cliffs, Victoria, where his father practised as a doctor for many years. Dr Barker soon followed in his father’s footsteps and practised in Melbourne where he married and had six children. He later divorced and married Janice Cattarall from Murwillumbah and relocated to the Tweed Valley where he bought Wollumbin Street Medical Centre in 1969. He and Janice helped to set up the first kindergarten in Murwillumbah as well as doing amateur theatre and running a film festival. According to his daughter Cathy, he brought the arts and culture of Melbourne to Murwillumbah. In 1985, Dr Barker established a clinic in Hastings Point where he practiced as an old school country doctor, who could set bones and do minor surgeries. He was very progressive, using acupuncture and hypnosis to help patients quit smoking, lose weight and deal with other lifestyle issues long before they became accepted practises. “He had an x-ray machine in his clinic and was used to doing everything himself,” his daughter Cathy told The Weekly. “He even made cotton cases for premature babies. He was tirelessly innovative.” Dr Barker was also a country champion swimmer and joked that the records he set in Victoria - such as the 110 yards - still stand today because the imperial measurement system was subsequently changed to metric. In the 1974 floods he swam from the family residence in Murwillumbah up Wollumbin Street to get help for his family. Until he was 75 years old, Dr Barker used his lunch hour to drive from his clinic in Hastings Point to the Tweed Heads pool, where he swam 100 laps before returning to work. His wife and eight children will celebrate the life of this remarkable man with a private ceremony.

RICHMOND TWEED State Emergency Service (SES) are inviting Tweed Shire residents to attend a special Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Community Education session at the Murwillumbah Services Club on Thursday, March 8, from 7am. SES representative Janet Pettit said the aim of the community education session is to increase awareness of the role of BoM as well as NSW SES. The information session follows several weeks of intense rainfall across the Shire, which has stirred emotions amongst residents who continue to recover from the 2017 Tweed flood almost 12 months ago. Ms Pettit said the education session will hear from a BoM representative who will outline the different weather warnings issued by the BoM. “The session will include about how weather warnings are used by the community,” Ms Pettit said. “It will also include increased understanding of how to use the BoM website to gather relevant information during events as well as increase awareness of the various NSW SES Public Information options.” Meanwhile, the NSW SES had 30 jobs across the Northern Rivers during the past week at the time of print. A total of 25 were storm related, four flood related incidents and one road crash rescue. NSW SES said on social media that the jobs related to trees down across roads, sandbag requests and leaking roofs. Most jobs were in the following areas: Tweed Heads: eight jobs Murwillumbah: four jobs Ballina: eight jobs Mullumbimby: six jobs “There is some instability in our area at the moment,” a SES spokesperson said. “It’s a good time to check your gutters/down pipes are clear while the sun is shining to avoid possible leaks.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Was your property or home damaged by the recent storm?

Currently, a footpath exists only outside the Aldi store and once construction is complete, the footpath will run from Minjungbal Drive to the western end of the Machinery Drive circuit. Contractors will construct three sections of a 1.2m-wide footpath on Machinery Drive, Tweed Heads South, to form a continuous pedestrian path along the stretch of road. A pedestrian refuge will also be installed at the eastern end of the Machinery Drive circuit. Westbound traffic will be reduced to one lane flow when concrete trucks are on site. Construction will take around three weeks and access will be maintained to all businesses. Motorists should expect some short delays. Meanwhile, Council has begun works this week at the Kennedy Drive Boat Ramp. The project will consist of improving the drainage and surface condition of the popular facility and will also improve trailer parking and circulation on the site.

As discussions continue into the future of the Murwillumbah to Casino Rail Corridor, longtime local and avid researcher Jim O’Regan of North Arm has compiled a report for The Weekly which he hopes can shed some light on what he titled: ‘how we lost our train’. While Mr O’Regan has done extensive research to piece together the following report, it should be noted that the following views are his own and the events that unfolded throughout the 80s, 90s, 00s may have been interpreted differently by other residents. I’d like to start with the 1984 state government election. In the Tweed Shire the National Party ran a campaign claiming that if Labor got into power they would stop our train. To which the then Premier Neville Wran replied: “Don’t be stupid, we’ve just spent $22 million dollars on maintenance on that line” - that was the last decent money ever spent on maintenance of that line. The next election in 1988 saw the Greiner Government come to power and at that time, the train service to Murwillumbah was the Summerland Express. It had sleeper accommodation, a buffet car and several double decker rail trucks carrying the cars of some of the passengers. It arrived in Murwillumbah at 9am each morning and about 200 passengers would disembark. However, within two months of the Greiner government taking power, the Summerland Express was discontinued and replaced by the XPT. The timetable was changed so that the train ran at inconvenient times so that, over time, people chose other transport options or stayed at home and the patronage of the train diminished. There are three ways governments can improve its financial position. It can raise taxes but a backlash from the rich is likely. It can cut services but that would trigger a backlash from the workforce. The third way is to cut maintenance to infrastructure. That will save squillions, and nobody will know for years - this was the course taken by the Greiner government. In 1995 the Carr government came to power and they inherited a poison chalice in the form of seven years of reduced infrastructure maintenance. What could they do? In the event they continued with minimum infrastructure maintenance. Fast forward to 2002 a train derailed at Waterfall on the Woollongong line. Seven people were killed. The official cause was that the driver had a heart attack and this is no doubt true. However, the derailment happened on a long shallow bend which had deteriorated over time to the point where a speed limit had been imposed. It seems reasonable to suppose that the condition of the line was a contributing factor. A survey was conducted to see if there were any other imminent Waterfalls. When the survey of the Casino to Murwillumbah line was made it was found that of its 38 thirty-eight bridges, 34 were unsafe.

The unmaintained 19th century log bridges had reached their use-by date and should have been replaced by concrete years ago. The line was then closed down in 2004. When the O’Farrell government came to power in 2011, the lack of infrastructure maintenance had become critical. Your readers will remember the problems the Sydney metropolitan rail service was having at the time. The six o’clock TV news almost every night had a derailment or a track damaged, services late or cancelled and people taking hours to get home. No serious crashes, just things falling apart, something had to be done to raise the needed money. They had to sell something big. They sold the electricity generation and distribution industry, but there was a problem. Electricity infrastructure was short on maintenance, too. Who would buy it? They had to offer a sweetener. The government agreed to pay for any new infrastructure at cost plus ten percent. Imagine buying shares on the stock exchange with a government guaranteed yield of ten percent. They couldn’t lose. It could be said that there was an unwritten sweetener. Every politician involved in the sale of the electricity industry assured us that in private hands energy prices would fall. But they went up, and up, and up. And all the time our politicians deplored the price rises and wrung their hands and talked of “affordable energy” but they did nothing. Was this part of the deal? And they use these clichés all the time like “affordable housing” and “clean coal” and we have “recessions” instead of depressions. It sounds better, but I digress. Rob Blanch and Bruce Kean, two Murwillumbah High School teachers, wrote a book called Bushwalking in the Mount Warning Region. In it they describe about 40 bushwalking tracks throughout the Tweed, begging the questions do we need another track, particularly a $13 million track? Which is what all the fuss is about today. I personally believe we need our train to be returned and we don’t need a light rail passenger service, we need a standard gauge passenger and freight service. Victoria and NSW have different gauges. For a hundred years passengers and goods travelling between Sydney and Melbourne had to change trains at Albury until a standard gauge line was built in the 1960s. Queensland has already gone narrow gauge and they’ll have to fix it one day but we shouldn’t go the same way. When Queensland bought the land through Robina from its Japanese developers, they only bought enough width for a single line for one million dollars. A year later when they realised their mistake they bought the extra width for one hundred million dollars. Our planning needs to be better. We need a service that will get trucks off the road. We need governments that respect the will of the majority and not just the needs of their electoral fund donors.

Local News 23

Push continues for Mooball National Park access Jonathon Howard TWEED TRAIL Horse Riders Club Secretary Debra Minto is again calling for Tweed Shire Council to provide a solution to reopen access to Mooball National Park from Wabba Road, as she raised concerns that the park access could remain closed to the public for an extended period. Mrs Minto recently spoke at Tweed Shire Council’s community access session on Thursday, February 15. Mrs Minto highlighted that in December 2017, the owner of the property adjoining the Mooball National Park had “constructed a fence and gates on Wabba Road”. “Yet Council has taken no action,” she said. “Members of the public are waiting on Council to provide details on a proposed easement that is to be granted in exchange for Wabba Road. The application for the closure and sale of Wabba Road is yet to be approved by the NSW Minister for Lands. Mrs Minto said following the community access speech she was contacted by the Director of Engineering with an update on what Council intended to do. “Despite the Club’s repeated requests for recreation user group representatives to be invited to preview the new easement route, I was advised that it would not be in the best interest of horse riders to participate in a site visit at the Cudgera Creek Road property,” she said. “Instead, interested Councillors will meet with the landowner who has so far failed to provide the easement and constructed a fence and gates on public land,” she said. However, Mrs Minto said the proposed meeting with the landowner “unfairly preferences a one-sided view with no

consideration for how public users continue to be adversely impacted by this issue”. “Again, through this response from Council – we have been disregarded and rendered irrelevant in reaching a resolution,” she said. “We believe that it is in our best interest to preview the route and confirm that it is fit for purpose. “While this may be inconvenient for Council and uncomfortable for the landowner, we, along with mountain bikers and hikers are legitimate users of the public land that is about to be sold off and we ought to be afforded the opportunity to participate in the selection of a replacement route into a National Park.” Mrs Minto said Trail Horse Club members who previously used this entry on a regular basis have been patient and reasonable, respecting the property owner’s privacy, limiting horse riding visits to the park to less than six in the past 12 months. “This concession was made on the promise from Council that public access would be continued at this park entry,” she said. “But members are now becoming frustrated and annoyed by the lack of meaningful information about when proper public access will be restored.” Karen Lee, a Club member and Burringbar resident, who has ridden the Mooball National Park trails for decades and was named Queensland Veteran of the Year at the 2017 Endurance Riders Association Annual General Meeting. She was surprised to be presented with this award, given the loss of access to her main training area along the Mooball National Park nature trails. “Endurance horses are like marathon runners, they need to be ridden over long distances to keep fitness levels up to competition standards over 80km and 160km courses,” Mrs Lee said. “The Mooball National Park is the perfect place to ride trail and endurance horses as the tracks are mostly soft and grassy underfoot. “Since this problem started, I’ve been forced to ride along surrounding gravel and bitumen roads, not great to be competing with trucks and cars, some travelling at speed with little consideration for the safety of other road users.” Mrs Lee is hoping that this saga over access to the Mooball National Park trails will soon be resolved so that she can carry on training for these events with her number one horse.

BOWEL RESTORE TO THE RESCUE

Organiser Marilyn Gough and Tweed Palliative Support Director Meredith Dennis

Thousands raised for Wedgetail Retreat

A SUCCESSFUL fundraising event for Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat took place at Mountain View Retirement Village on Wednesday, February 21. The speaker of the event was well-known Tweed Palliative Support Director Meredith Dennis, whose talk and video presentation were well received by an audience of more than 100 guests. The group was firstly entertained with songs from the Mountain View choir, after which Ms Dennis spoke about the work of Tweed Palliative Support and the care of patients at Wedgetail, which many people in the audience could relate to, having had loved ones spend time at the hospice. Several questions from the audience indicated acute interest, and the general feeling was that Murwillumbah and the Tweed area as a whole are “extremely fortunate” to have such a wonderful hospice/respite centre such as Wedgetail, with its dedicated, mostly voluntary staff. Organiser of the event Marilyn Gough said she was absolutely delighted to announce that the combined proceeds from the day’s event, including raffles, sales and generous donations from Mountain View residents and the wider community, amounted to more than $2,400 raised. As Wedgetail receives no direct government funding, and relies on public donations, Tweed Palliative Support were highly grateful for the generosity of all who had contributed to the event.

MURWILLUMBAH CENTRAL Rotary Club, in conjunction with the Murwillumbah Lions Club, handed over a Sara Stedy transfer aid to the Murwillumbah Hospital Rehabilitation Unit on Tuesday, February 27. Secretary of Murwillumbah Lions Club Peter Richards said they saw a need for the patient transfer aid when they had a friend undergoing treatment in the hospital. They realised that staff didn’t have one to use for high-care patients in the rehabilitation unit. “The local aged care homes have this equipment but Murwillumbah Hospital, which is supposed to have one of the best rehabilitation units in northern NSW has a limited number,” Mr Richards told The Weekly. President Elect of Murwillumbah Central Rotary Club, Anni Brownjohn, said that club members were outside Mitre 10 doing their weekly sausage sizzle when they were approached to raise funds for the purchase of the equipment. “In true Rotary fashion we immediately went into a huddle to discuss it, then rang the Lions Club to see if they would help,” she said.

“Within a couple of days, we were able to say yes, combined with the Lions Club we have the funds to buy the equipment.” The Murwillumbah Central Rotary Club got together with Murwillumbah Lions Club to provide the $2896 for the Sara Stedy which they were happy to discover had been discounted from the regular price of $3800. Ms Brownjohn said the wonderful thing about the Rotary and Lions clubs was that they can help to fill the gaps when government funding isn’t at the level the community requires. “It’s great that we’ve got such a wonderful local community clubs that can collaborate and unite to assist the community like this,” she said. “Rotary and Lions clubs members are people of action, dedicated to improving the lives of others in the community.” Acting Deputy Director of Nursing, Wendy Park, said the equipment will enable staff to move patients who can’t walk. It also provides easy access to smaller spaces such as bathrooms and showers, although Ms Park said the Stedy would be used for rehabilitation. “This is what small hospitals rely on donated equipment,” Ms Park told the Weekly. “It’s great for the community to be able to help out. We’re an ageing community and we need more resources so this is a great help.”

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest is urging Tweed residents to brush up on their road rules, which he says could save a life, during Road Rules Awareness Week which kicked off on Monday. Tweed residents are being asked whether they know what tailgating is, the rules around merging, or who gives way at a roundabout. Mr Provest said Road Rules Awareness Week is the perfect time for all road users to refresh their knowledge of NSW road rules. “We have around 350 road rules in NSW and they are there to save lives,” Mr Provest said. “Road Rules Awareness Week is a great time for everyone to think about their

driving, and aims to help improve the community’s knowledge of the road rules including commonly misunderstood rules.” “It’s important that all road users – motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists– understand and follow the road rules correctly to keep everyone safe on our roads.” “This week is the perfect opportunity to find out the answers to those questions and any others you may have.” Road Rules Awareness Week runs from February 26 to March 4.

Murwillumbah High class of 1963 to reunite after 55 years A 55-YEAR reunion for the Murwillumbah High School class of 1963, will take place on Saturday March 24, and Sunday, March 25, at the Tweed Regional Art Gallery. This group hold the unique position of being the first of the baby boomers, the majority being born in 1946, the year after the end of WWII, according to reunion organiser Colin Brooks. Mr Brooks visited The Weekly on Tuesday to spread the word about the reunion in the hope of capturing any locals interested in attending. “For many, conditions were hard, with commodity shortages and not much money available, but they made it,” he said. “Murwillumbah High was the only comprehensive high school in the Tweed Shire in those days, so students who completed the intermediate certificate at Tweed River High or Mt St Pats had to transfer to Murwillumbah High to do the leaving certificate. “Murwillumbah High had an enviable record, both academically and sportingly, when compared across NSW. “Discipline was strong under the leadership of Mr Russ Goode (principal) and Mr Gordon (Matt) Morgan (deputy). Many an ex-student has stories to tell of their experiences with those two gentlemen.” Mr Brooks highlighted that many of the class of ‘63 were talented sports people. “An interesting sporting story was John Smith setting a new long

jump record in ‘63 breaking his own father’s record set way back in 1933,” Mr Brooks said. “Many of the members of the class of ‘63 continued with their interest in sport and are still competing at masters games level with Jan Edmed competing very successfully in surf life saving, Barry Larter, who unfortunately has passed away, winning a bronze medal for butterfly at the world masters games, as well as holding several NSW age records for freestyle and butterfly. Mr Brooks said the keen interest in sport was nurtured and encouraged by the two sport teachers of the time, John Clune and Jennifer Thompson. “Miss Thompson was particularly passionate about hockey, playing in the local weekend competition with the High One team and ultimately guiding them to win the NSW state school knockout,” he said. Mr Brooks said that subject choices at school were quite limited compared to the present day, as were job opportunities. “English and a level of math were compulsory and for the more academically inclined you were expected to do subjects such as math one and two, physics, chemistry, French, Latin, history etc,” he said. “For those not so inclined, the more practical subjects such as woodwork, technical drawing, agriculture and home science were more appealing. “Unless your parents were financially well off, your only

chance of a tertiary education was to do well at the leaving certificate and win a scholarship, to train as a teacher, either at various teacher’s colleges around the state for two years or university for four years, or you could win a commonwealth scholarship to help with university studies. “Several of the class of ‘63 were recipients of these and went on to study engineering, pharmacy, mathematics and science at one of the three universities available in NSW at that time, or UQ in Brisbane. “Paul Robey and Lionel Boorman studied at Hawkesbury Agricultural College and both went on to influential positions in agriculture, in PNG and Australia.” Mr Brooks said at least 18 of the group trained as teachers including Lois Brown, Neil Proudfoot and Noline Flanagan, eventually rising through the ranks to the position of principal. “While principal at Deniliquin South Primary, Neil was responsible for recognising and

nurturing the cricketing talent of Adam Gilchrist and for this received mention in Gilchrist’s biography,” he said. “For those not proceeding to tertiary education other options were, the banks, nursing, newspaper reporting, retail industry and for some, self-employment.” Mr Brooks said the class of ‘63 spread their influence far and wide, with many at some time working overseas in countries such as the USA, Canada, Great Britain, PNG, Bangladesh and Israel while many others have travelled for pleasure. “Other members of the class of ‘63 who have had interesting careers are: Ron Lawrence flying helicopters and jet aircraft in the navy, in at times, dangerous areas of the world,” he said. “School captain Ron McKay after a distinguished career lecturing in Australia, America and England, being appointed to the position of Vice Chancellor of the new Charles Darwin University. Unfortunately Ron has also passed away.

“Barbra Whittle recieved recognition in the medical world as an author of a research paper on the chemical makeup of vaccine bases. “Carol Pittaway worked as a nurse with Bangladeshi refugees in Dhaka and later in London. “Peter Den Exter was a notable environmental activist, personal friend and consultant to Bob Brown who also has passed away. “Daryll Pain, a civil engineer involved in the construction of part of the M5 motorway in Sydney, Talbingo Dam in the Snowy Mountains scheme and an impressive record in civil engineering in South Australia. “At least three of the group, Chris Chrisostomos, Eunice Johnson and Mollie Gray never left the Tweed and are now very well known for their contributions to the local community, while over the years others such as Ian Batten and Colin Brooks returned to the valley, making valuable contributions in their chosen fields of work and community organisations.”

Antique WWII rifle handed to 225 Cadet Unit MEMBERS OF the 225 Cadet Unit in Murwillumbah along with the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch have helped preserve an antique World War II rifle, which has carried some rich history for members of the Volunteer Defence Corps (VDC). Burringbar local Lex Philip contacted The Weekly to shed some light on the rifle’s history as well as preventing the antique item from being crushed. “The rifle was handed over to the 225 Cadet Unit in Murwillumbah,” Mr Philip said. Mr Philip said the rifle was issued to the VDC during World War II as the last line of defence should Australia face invasion. “The old picture is of members of the Volunteer Defence Corps (VDC) in Burringbar during WWII with my grandfather Lieutenant Alexander Philip second on the right,” Mr Philip said. Mr Philip said the VDC was inaugurated on July 15, 1940, under the auspices of the Returned Soldiers Sailors Airman Imperial League of Australia now the Returned Services League. “It was handed over to Army control in May 1941,” he said.

Lieutenant Alexander Philip is pictured second from the right with members of the Volunteer Defence Corps.

Driver program a winner

Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch President Phil Connor, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Roach Training Officer and Lex Philip, grandson of Lieutenant Alexander Philip.

“It comprised men from every part of Australia and every walk of civilian life - volunteers unfit for combat in the regular forces, over the age limit or in reserved occupations. “In 1942 the VDC became a Corps of the Citizen Military Forces CMF and the Army defined the objectives of the VDC as to augment the local defences of the state by providing static defence of localities and protection of vulnerable points and by giving timely information regarding enemy movements to superior organisations. “More succinctly its purpose was to ‘Deny, Delay and Protect’.” Mr Philip said some of the particular missions for which the VDC proposed included the construction of road blocks, demolition of bridges and piers, protection of airbases, industrial sites and village and guerrilla warfare. “Some examples being protection of the BHP steel works in Newcastle, the manning of anti-aircraft batteries and coastal defence fortifications.” The manpower or total VDF numbers in NSW in 1944 was 22,970 personnel and the overall Australian total at the time was 75,174.

MORE THAN a dozen local youths took part in a special Driver Safety Australia Program run by Connect Northern Rivers Inc on Friday, February 23. Connect Tweed Heads Youth Support Coordinator Kim Telling said the program was designed to help assist young learner drivers to get their license and move them closer to employment, which she said is an ongoing challenge for Tweed youths. “For many young people, this is compounded by the fact that they do not have a license and public transport is often inadequate,” she said. “Connect Northern Rivers Inc is working with Driver Safety Australia to tackle this barrier.” Mrs Telling said the NSW Regional VET Pathways program, known as ‘Work it Out’, is aimed at supporting school leavers and those unemployed youths to overcome barriers to further education, training and employment, and transport which is one of the major issues. According to Australia Bureau of Statistics figures (2016 data) around 5.7 per cent of Tweed households do not have a vehicle. The learner drivers were taken through a range of driver instructions by qualified experts, who outlined some of the specific driving behaviours. Kumari, 19, said the training program was “an awesome experience” and gave her more confidence to drive. “I feel privileged to be a part of this program and can’t wait to have my license and increase my chances for getting a job as I have limited access to transport,” she said. To find out more about the Australian Road Safety Foundation pilot program in the Tweed, please contact Kim Telling, Youth Support Coordinator, Work It Out Program on (07) 5536 9033 or 0488 996 638.

Local News 35

The Tweed Valley Relay For Life Committee are looking forward to another big year

“It’s a good cause and a great event,” she said. “You can’t just take all the time, you’ve got to give back as well. “We set up camp so we can get some sleep when we aren’t walking and there is coffee going all night to keep people awake. There are also two ladies who run trivia to keep things going. “You hit peaks and troughs but we are all there to support each other. If, at 3am you feel like you don’t want to keep going, you just think of all the people who have to keep going through their cancer treatment. “There’s a lovely community feeling and it’s great to know that funds raised stay locally for cancer support services.” Those support services can be accessed through the Cancer Council Information Service at The Tweed Hospital. Online registration is open until March 7 and people can register on the day as well. The event runs from 3pm on Saturday, March 10 to 8am on Sunday, March 11 at the Cudgen Leagues Club in Kingscliff.

CANCER COUNCIL NSW Community Relations Coordinator Hannah Brooks says she’s hoping for a big turnout to raise vital funds for Cancer Council NSW at the 2018 Relay for Life on Saturday, March 10, at the Cudgen Leagues Club. Ms Brooks is encouraging the whole community to get involved with a free breakfast, kid’s activities, live music, competitions and a Survivors and Carers walk. “This event is driven by volunteers and we are there to support them,” Ms Brooks said. “There are official ceremonies to celebrate and recognise all the people whose lives have been touched by cancer.” Ms Brooks said The Candlelight Ceremony of Hope at sunset is very special. “It’s very emotional and inspirational and includes photo reels from family and friends of those who have passed away as well as survivors,” she said. “By sharing their stories, they are showing that this disease is still out there and we still need to fight it.” The relay is an all-night event with one team member required to be walking at all times. Sonya Lee has been participating in the event for several years and volunteering for the last three.

CHILLI LOVERS will be out in force this Saturday, March 3, at the Cudgen Leagues Club for an event with a fascinating background, the inaugural Chinderah Chilli Festival. Event coordinator Jason O’Connor is expecting more than 1500 visitors to the family friendly event with funds raised going towards volunteer training for the Tweed SES. “We will have more than 50 chilli vendors and international food trucks to create a flavourful and fiery event like no other,” Mr O’Connor said. “The highlight will be two chilli eating comps - the Seatonfire Chilli Chocolate Challenge at 2pm - a death waiver needs to be signed to enter - then the Extreme Meatball challenge at 3pm.” The event evolved from the floods which devastated Mr O’Connor’s home town of Murphy’s Creek, where he runs Seatonfire Chilli Chocolate in Queensland’s Lockyer Valley in 2011. “Tasmanian Rotary clubs raised a substantial amount in flood relief for Murphy’s Creek, which we used to build a hall,” he said. “Then when we heard of the floods in Tasmania two years ago and we started a chilli festival in the hall and raised over $2000, donating it back to the community in northern Tasmania. “It’s about paying it forward. “I was promoting the Murphy’s Creek Chilli Festival at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and met a Tasmanian woman who had donated money to the flood relief fund. “She was so happy to know that we had used the funds to build the hall which was the venue for the festival a month later and that we were raising money for Tassie flood victims.

“Then last year we were watching Cyclone Debbie closely and saw the devastation it caused in the Tweed. “We wanted to raise funds from the Murphy’s Creek Chilli Festival in October, but by then the Tweed Mayoral Flood Appeal Fund had closed. “Then the Murphy’s Creek festival was washed out with 67mm of rain, so we decided to just move the whole party down there.” The $1 entry goes towards supporting the Tweed SES, who did such an incredible job during the floods, “With the best chilli sauce companies from all around Australia to heat things up and give the area some love.” Mr O’Connor said.

FORMER WORLD champion surfer Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew is part of the team behind an exciting new touring music festival, The Drop Festival, that will run during the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro surfing contests at Ebenezer Park at Tweed Heads on Saturday, March 17. The festival will feature Safia, Dune Rats, San Sisco, Holy Holy and Ruby Fields and starts on the Gold Coast before following the World Surf League events to Torquay and Margaret River. “I’m a resident of Rainbow Bay and lover of music and surfing. I got involved because I really wanted to bring a major music festival to the southern Gold Coast,” Mr Bartholomew said. “There used to be a lot of live music here in in the 70s, 80s and even the 90s but a lot

of venues have shut down. It was the end of an era. “There seems to be a shortage of good live music on the Gold Coast so I want to be a part of bringing it back.” It’s an all-ages gig, though event organisers suggest that anyone under 16 years and headed to Tweed or Torquay talk to parents and guardians about coming along as well. Families are encouraged to come along, with children 11 and under welcome to attend for free but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with a ticket. Photo identification with the same name as the ticket is required regardless of age. The first release allocation has already been exhausted but second release tickets are now available at: https://thedropfestival.com/ Venue: Ebenezer Park, Saturday, March 17.

FILMS th Mia wi

POWERFUL WOMEN International Women’s Day is coming, and it is an appropriate coincidence that several films coming to town celebrate the strength and power of women. We have already been impressed by Mildred, the formidable protagonist of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a real force of nature. Elisa, the protagonist of The Shape of Water, despite her inability to speak and delicate look, is a determined and courageous woman who becomes a real heroine. Now there are two further films that portray strong female characters. I, Tonya brings to the screen the real life story of Tonya Harding, the professional ice skater who the public decided to hate when she was connected to the attack on her rival skater. Tonya - portrayed by the Australian actress Margot Robbie - saw her life reduced to a joke by the media and was banned from competitive skating forever. But she manages to rebuild her life… Christine, “Lady Bird” McPherson is a high school senior who longs for adventure, sophistication, and opportunity, but finds none of that in her Sacramento Catholic high school. Lady Bird follows her senior year in high school, including her first romance, her participation in the school play, the turbulent relationship with her mother and her application for college. It is a simple semi-autobiographical ‘coming of age’ story written and directed by Greta Gerwig but it digs so honestly into both the humor and the pathos of growing up that the film has received accolades all over the world. The women portrayed in all these movies are very different from each other in terms of age, social background and historical circumstances, but they share a great strength of character - and the actresses portraying them have done such a good job they are all nominated as Best Actress for this year’s Academy Awards

Looking to a life of wedded bliss, Meg doesn’t want to hear about anything that will spoil her special day. Lucy opts for pragmatism and the true meaning of friendship. Better to be honest now, with no regrets after the big event. Secret Bridesmaid’s Business is directed by Penny Irving, who had great success last year with David Williamson’s Travelling North. Irving has assembled a quality cast in Jane Thornton (Colleen), Aya Emery (Meg), Craig Griffin (James), Cindy Gibsone (Angela), Beck Hegeman (Naomi) and Jacqui Harris (Lucy).

EVERYONE loves a wedding and audiences will be thrilled with Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, a funny and topical Australian play to be presented by the Murwillumbah Theatre Company from March 9 at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre Auditorium. Written by award-winning playwright Elizabeth Coleman and a success on stage and film, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business casts its spell with witty dialogue and all too human reactions from the bride’s party. Bride-to-be Meg Bacon has gathered her bridesmaids and mum Colleen for a girlies’ night out in a hotel suite before the big day. While Colleen goes over last-minute details, the girls kick up their heels. But one of the party has a secret that may threaten the wedding itself. While the bride prepares for the biggest day of her life and her mum Colleen fusses over ribbons and shoe fabrics, Meg’s bridesmaids Lucy and Angela discover that sometimes there is no right answer when it comes to doing what’s best for your friend. Secret Bridesmaid’s Business is a comedy which deals with serious issues such as truth, loyalty, denial, sex, love, the meaning of marriage as well as female friendship and the plight of modern women with biological ticking clocks.

THE UKI Refugee Project will present a special screening of a film shot from inside the detention centre on Manus Island at the Regent Cinema this Sunday, March 4 from 2pm. The film, ‘Chauka Please Tell us the Time’, by Kurdish-Iranian refugee and journalist Behrouz Boochani was shot on his mobile phone from inside detention on Manus Island and sent to filmmaker Arash Kamali Sarvestani, The film presents a unique record of life inside detention. Behrouz Boochani risked so much to make this film, travelling to unsafe areas and often staying up all night to access the intermittent internet reception on Manus Island.

The process of creating the film was painfully slow, sending out two minutes of footage at a time via Whatsapp on his mobile phone. “Sometimes I had to try for a month to get a special shot, and sometimes I did not feel safe while I was filming,” he said. Behrouz says that he made the film to try to remedy the erasure of the people imprisoned in offshore detention-so that we would know that they are people just like us. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 concession available at the Regent Cinema, online via TryBooking, or at the door. Khanthaly’s home made delicacies will be available for purchase before and after the movie from $2 each.

PASSIONATE LOCAL artist Suzi Bourke is this week’s Murwillumbah Art Trail 2018 featured artist. Mrs Bourke moved up to the Tweed when she retired from secondary teaching ten years ago, having longed to live here since the 1980s when she would holiday in the shire. “It is not just the coast that I love but the hills and valleys of the caldera; the rivers and brooks and all the arty, creative people living here,” she said. “When working full-time I could only get rare moments on art projects. I did casual courses on pottery, lead lighting and paper maché, but once I settled here in Cabarita I started at Shirley Kennedy’s Life Drawing classes at the TRG and then I joined Gillian at Artable and I was addicted. Mrs Bourke said her passion for art blossomed when she started painting Australian landscapes in the representational style. “Inside me there is an abstract artist trying to get out, but I just love capturing the light on our land in detail,” she said. “I’ve tried abstract and failed badly. I paint freehand from a photo of an aweinspiring place where I have been. “When I paint I go into a zone of thinking and I actually can’t hold a conversation with anyone. “I can paint for hours and not notice the time passing and sometimes I have to set my alarm to remind me to take the dogs for their walk or put dinner on. “I spend a lot of time mixing my colours and standing back and looking at the shapes. “I use acrylic paints which dry very quickly so I have to remember the colours I’ve blended.

“I often make up a bit extra especially for skies or seas so that if I move a tree or something I can touch it up. “I aim to write down my blends but often forget and it takes about 30 hours to finish a painting, but really it’s only finished when it’s sold.” Mrs Bourke said she has an Easter exhibition called Horizons, at M-Arts, for which she has been painting furiously when she’s not being Sponsorship Manager of MAT18. “For MAT18 I will be entering several landscapes with a group of friends,” she said. “Our pop up gallery is called Elsewhere and I love the name because it really captures all of our styles for the MAT18 theme ‘Moving On’. “Last year we were in the Hutchisons building and it was fabulously successful. “Four different groups displayed their art and set it up to look so interesting. “Locals were thrilled and surprised and they all wanted to know if it would be a permanent gallery.” Mrs Bourke said she wanted to encourage anyone interested in painting to sign up for local art classes. “There are many to choose from in the Tweed; they are high quality, welcoming and lots of them sponsor MAT18,” she said. “When I started my first class I thought I was being a bit presumptuous because I wasn’t an artist - I’m sure that stops lots of people. “But it was the best experience and I met such wonderful people who are good friends now and I learnt lots about painting and drawing. “Anyone scared of starting should drop into Elsewhere at MAT18 and ask me about classes I have taken – or ask any of the other artists.”

THE MURWILLUMBAH Art Trail has received a welcome boost, after it was announced the State Government will put $20,000 towards promoting the event. Member for Lismore Thomas George made the announcement at a media launch on Wednesday, February 28, at the Tweed Regional Gallery. Mr George outlined the significance of the event and commended the members, sponsors and artists on the important focus of this year’s event. “The Murwillumbah Art Trail has shown itself to be an event that people love and I have no doubt it will continue to grow and bring more visitors to our wonderful region,” he said. “Moving On is a fitting theme for the 2018 Murwillumbah Art Trail as it encourages participants to reflect on the aftermath

of the 2017 flood and the resilience of our community.” The funding was awarded under the 2018 Flagship Event Fund as part of the NSW Government’s goal to double overnight visitor expenditure in NSW by 2020. “The Flagship Event Fund identifies and assists the marketing activities of events that contribute to the unique character of the tourism regions of NSW and can demonstrate that they attract overnight visitation,” Mr George said. “Funds to market this event to a wider audience and bring people to Murwillumbah not just for the day but overnight or for the weekend is what starts to have a ripple effect across the whole city. “Every new visitor helps our motels and hotels, clubs, pubs, restaurant, cafes and the retail sector.”

championship belt in boxing having taken out the Masters Light Heavy Weight (LHW) Interstate (Qld/NSW) Boxing Title defeating Sunshine Coast boxer Paul Hollinger in November, 2017. The boxing match was part of the Collision Course Fight Night hosted by the Kingscliff Boxing Stables at Seagulls Club. Hollinger is a two time Australian LHW Masters Champion and it was a gruelling back and forth battle between the two fighters who both showed good form. Brett, fighting up a weight class, got the final nod from the judges via a split decision against the bigger, taller, slightly younger and more experienced Hollinger.

COLES MURWILLUMBAH in Sunnyside Mall is urging customers and locals to get behind the Coles Sports for Schools program, which is designed to raise funds for sporting equipment in local schools to help keep Aussie kids fit and healthy. Coles Murwillumbah front service manager Michelle Morris said the voucher program is off to a great start. “We’ve had a strong start to the drop vouchers,” she said. “We’re in our third week and the program runs until the start of April.” Ms Morris said customers that spend $10 inside the store will receive a voucher which they can then drop into their nominated local school. “When you shop at Coles, you’ll receive Sports for Schools vouchers that your local school can exchange for sports gear,” she said. “The more vouchers you collect, the more sports gear those schools will receive.” Meanwhile, Coles Murwillumbah continues to fundraise for Tweed Palliative Care with collection points at registers. “We are always raising funds for Tweed Palliative Care and last month Coles donated $721 in about a month of fundraising,” Ms Morris said.

SEVERAL MURWILLUMBAH and Kingscliff boxers are preparing to face off at one of the Tweed’s largest boxing tournaments, at Seagulls Club on Saturday, March 24. The event, billed as Boxing Mania, is expected to be one of the biggest fight nights on the Tweed in many years with Billel Dib fighting for a WBA Oceania Title and Reagan Dessaix fighting for IBF Pan Pacific Title with both bouts are expected to be broadcast via Foxtel. Kingscliff Boxing Stables operator and event organiser Nick Midgley said he’s expecting a crowd of more than 1700 with tickets already selling fast and punters keen to converge on Seagulls from across the country, as well as several international fighters. Locals will also be keen on a friendly rivalry between Mick McAndrews and Brett Jacobsen (pictured), who are both boxing under the Global League Masters 75kg (middle weight) for the Australian Masters Title. The Weekly met up with both local fighters for a photoshoot and friendly banter to promote the bout. Mick, representing Murwillumbah Boxing, said he’s returned to his favourite sport after a brief break and was keen to get back in the ring. “I love the feeling of getting in there and having a go and always looking for a win,” he said. A successful boxer in the past, Mick is looking to maintain a strong record and local bragging rights. “There’s already been a bit of build up around town, so we’re encouraging everyone to get a ticket and come along,” he said. Brett, representing Triune Boxing, enters the fight after winning his first

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

Police said two officers confronted the two people with their guns drawn, when the suspects attempted to flee the scene. “One person was chased and arrested on site.

The person was later arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station for questioning and charging.” Police said the person arrested was charged with break and enter and stealing offences and will appear in Tweed Heads Local Court on the 19th March 2018.

Man nabbed with drugs and knife at Kingscliff

TWEED POLICE said it was about 11.55pm on Friday, February 23, when officers were patrolling Wommin Bay Drive, Kingscliff, in relation to traffic and street offences. Police stopped a maroon coloured Subaru Forrester station wagon at the intersection of Wommin Bay Drive and Street for a random breath test. The driver returned a negative result; however police officers noticed the passenger was eating from a large packet of chips and appeared nervous. He was unable to supply police with any identification and subsequent checks revealed he had two outstanding warrants in Queensland. The male was advised he was going to be searched for drugs and possible knife possession. The accused stated he did not have any objections to the search and police requested the accused to empty his pockets which he did. The accused was then seen to turn away from police and reach in to his underwear and attempt to place an item under a shirt on the bonnet. Police pulled his hands away and saw that the accused had

placed a silver pistol style gas burner approximately 15cm in length under the shirt. The accused stated the item was hidden because his pockets were shallow. “The accused was told to sit down on the gutter and was becoming nervous and appeared agitated,” police said. “Police have conducted a search of the vehicle starting on the passenger side. “Police opened the chip bag and located a small brown leather style brown zip wallet containing methylamphetamine crystals weighing 1.71 grams, a small brown bottle with a black lid containing a liquid weighing 44.80 grams, a 16cm skinning knife, small set of digital scales, a glass ice pipe, a red straw cut in half and sealed on one end, a small plastic containing with 38 small resealable plastic bags inside, and $147.80 in cash. “When police went to arrest the man, he ran from the area. “Police are aware of the identification of this male and are confident he will be arrested soon.”

Man charged with drink driving at Tweed Heads TWEED POLICE said it was about 7.45pm on Friday, February 23, when officers were patrolling the Tweed Heads South area when they noticed a white unity tray back turn onto Lloyd Street from the Dan Murphy’s/South Tweed Tavern location. The vehicle was stopped for a random breath test which found the driver to be positive. The 27-year-old man was arrested and conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station for a breath analysis. The analysis produced a reading of 0.129 grams of alcohol in 210 litres of breath. The man indicated he had drank four coronas of beer since 4pm that afternoon. His licence was immediately suspended, and he will appear before the Tweed Heads Local Court on March 19.

Bowls Notes TBDBA PAIRS Championships are now done and dusted following a great competition that produced top quality bowling from all entrants in the three grades that were contested. Finalists were complimented with a full gallery of spectators, who, in turn thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle of three super charged high quality games. Open Pairs semis were all that one would expect. Hard fought and tight scoring was the order of the day as the teams went head-to-head to claim a berth in the final. Semi One, with both teams from Kingscliff, was no exception as Kevin Liddington (S) and Graeme Cowie swapped blows with Glen Searle (S) and Greg Sawtell. Team Liddington held a narrow lead over the first eight ends but was then overtaken by team Searle and trailed for the remainder of the game resulting in Searle and Sawtell claiming the spoils with a narrow margin. Semi Two with Ocean Shores’ Troy Makin (S) and Andrew Montgomery challenging Kingscliff’s Paul Watson and Steve Massey was, again, another triller with the lads tying the score on ends 13 and 18 and again on the 20th. In a nail biting, action charged final end, team Watson collected the one shot that ensured victory. With Kingscliff dominating in the final, brilliant bowling from both camps brought about an exciting and tight scoring game that could have gone either way early on. However, Watson and Massey held their opposition at bay to bring about a 15-9 lead after 17 ends. Searle and Sawtell came back strongly to reduce their deficit to 2 shots down coming into the last end. Team Watson then turned up the heat, and with a sound finish, claimed victory with a minimal margin. Semis in the Reserve Grade Pairs were two totally different contests. Pottsville’s Gary Rowland (S) and Michael Coyte

with Judy Tuckey were challenging Kingscliff’s Ross Hammond (S) and Frank McNamara. While scores were level after 11 ends and again on the 17th end, the Potty lads then broke away to take the game with a decisive margin. Semi Two saw Burringbah’s Morris Cronin (S) and Frank Chapman duelling with Bangalow’s Richard Rombouts (S) and Jeff Nolan. Team Rombouts led all the way and were sitting on 20-3 after 12 ends. A valiant fightback from the Burringbah lads kept their opposition scoreless as they plundered 13 shots during the following 6 ends to reduce their deficit to 2 down. However, the Bangalow team fired up again to claim victory with a reasonable margin. The Bangalow vs. Pottsville final, with both teams quite evenly matched, developed into a real nail-biter. Whilst Rombouts and Nolan led by a narrow margin up to end 15, a concerted effort from Rowland and Coyte then closed the gap with the score on 16-16 on end 18. Game on! 3 more nerve racking ends resulted in a 18-18 score to force an extra end with the Potty lads taking the honours one shot up. Senior grade semis were certainly not just a ‘walk in the park’ experience for contestants as they battled for supremacy. In Semi One Kingscliff’s Peter Kelly (S) and Tom Eadie picked up a 6 on the third end to set up a tidy buffer and kept Cabarita’s Ken Coyte (S) and Bob Gormly at bay for a further 9 ends. Caba then collected a 5 followed by a single to even the score. Two more singles from each team and the score was levelled again. Kingscliff then revitalised and charged home to win the final 5 ends and take the game with a substantial margin. Semi two with Byron Bay’s Brian Burton (S) and Jim Clark up against Kingscliff’s Wayne Bartlett (S) and Terry Lee evolved into a tough encounter.

Paul Watson (S), Steve Massey – 2018 T.B.D.B.A. Open Pairs Champions

With the Byron lads leading all the way, a resurgence from the Kingscliff pair wasn’t enough to take control allowing Burton and Clarke to claim the game 4 shots up. Byron Bay and Kingscliff teams endured a tough battle in their final. Brian Burton and Jim Clark held onto a handy lead during the first 13 ends before Peter Kelly and Tom Eadie got going. Six ends later and the Kingscliff pair were 1 shot up. Byron responded with 2 shots on the 20th and picking up 3 shots on the final end claimed the Seniors title. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Longboard Open

Festivities Underway WELL GREAT waves for the first day of the Australian Longboard Surfing Open, with something happening in the water, on the beach, in the park or in the pub for everybody young and old to check out. Organiser Sean McKweon is pretty stoked with the event he has been part of it for many years. “This is an all inclusive event for surfers and the whole Tweed Coast Community,” McKweon said. “This is not just about elite surfers – this is about the whole culture of longboard surfing – from our Indigenous population right though. "As well as plenty of professional and amateur surfing we will have plenty of things to see and do over the five days. “On Thursday night surf media legend Phil Jarrett will introduce his new biography Life Of Brine at Brothers Café Restaurant and Bar in Marine Parade – this is a free event and is sure to attract a lot of interest.

Kirra Teams Challenge Kicks-off Friday

One of the most valued team surfing titles in the world is up for grabs this weekend with the 34th Kirra Teams Challenge. Clubs from Western Australia, Victoria, NSW, and Queensland will be taking part, with teams of six Open Surfers and two juniors. The event is surfed in an individual heat format, with four points for a heat win, three for second and so on. The team with the highest point score wins the challenge. More often than not, the event comes down to a count back on most heat wins and seconds, and sometimes even a count back on every wave surfed. Every result is vital, as is every wave score. Snapper Rocks leads the tally with the most wins, but clubs to look out for will be North Narrabeen, with surfers like Nathan Hedge, Davey Cathels, and Nathan Webster, Merewether (Matt Hoy does not make the team!), Avoca,

North Shelly, Point Lookout with Ethan Ewing and Bede Durbidge, plus host club the Kirra Surfriders. Local clubs Kingscliff and Cabarita will be out to rattle some cages and always put in a great performance. Competition starts 8am Friday, and concludes Sunday afternoon. Competition will be at Duranbah, but if the swell is big enough, Kirra is always an option. Well worth going to watch with the best Australian surfers in the world outside the WSL Championship Tour. The standard of surfing is always off the hook, so come on down and cheer on the local clubs.

Vissla Sydney Pro- It’s on!

Well the QS6000 WSL Vissla Pro for men and women is on at Manly this week wrapping up on Sunday. There may be a few hurried flights back for the Kirra Teams Challenge with a lot of various clubs surfers competing in both events. Cabarita surfer Zahli Kelly is a standout in the women’s division, and will be one of the surfers to watch over the next few days, along with Alyssa Lock and Sophia Fulton. For the men, Mikey Wright is on a roll after his win in Newcastle and will be looking to get the points this year and join his brother and sister on the World Championship Tour. His form at the Australian Boardriders Battle was superb, and he looks like carrying it on throughout the rest of the 2018 season. Webcasts will be on for both events this weekend, for Kirra Teams Challenge go to the Kirra Surfriders website, and for the Vissla Sydney Pro just go to the WSL App or website Catch you in the waves

Looking back: 50 years since Opening Titles

By Keith Kennedy

IT IS 50 years since the Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club hosted the first NSW Opening Titles. The boat shed extension was completed in time for the titles at a cost of $8,000 while walling of Cudgen Creek commenced in mid 1967 and was also completed in time for the carnival. Many working bees were held to ready the clubhouse, equipment and beach.

There were in total 2,900 competitors from 100 clubs entered. Many supporters and service clubs assisted to host the event including Newport SLSC with their power boat in a time before Inflatable Rescue Boat. Workers were supplied with screen printed “Have a banana every day” T-shirts which were popular with souvenir hunters. Despite the success of the carnival the club finished on the debit side through catering losses.

Sh ting Hoops THIS WEEK Murwillumbah basketball association is happy to be in full swing for a whole new season. Aussie Hoops commenced again last Tuesday with a great turn out.

As a result a Herald Gear Fund Loan for $1,600 was obtained from the State Centre to be repaid over five years. The overall profit for the carnival was $50 and halved by both NSW and Cudgen.
